Take Me To Your Leader: Lake Norman ‘UFO’ Video Goes Viral

LAKE NORMAN – A shaky video of an alleged space craft over Lake Norman has been getting picked up by tabloids overseas and leading some to ask if we are alone in the universe, and if the videographer was riding a jackhammer while filming the suspicious sight.

“A video gaining traction on social media is suggesting a “huge” UFO was recently spotted over North Carolina’s Lake Norman, north of Charlotte.

The footage, recorded May 29 by Jason Swing, shows a long slender object hovering for more than two minutes over the man-made lake.

Swing calmly calls the object “a space craft” in his video.

“It had been raining all morning. Rain finally stopped so we went (to) pick up a boat from Lake Norman,” Swing says in a post with the video. “When (I) came around the corner I saw this thing sitting still very close.””
